I've been dying to try this technique. Between your instructions and Beate's instructions, I should be all set (once I get over the fear of trying :oops: ). Thanks for sharing !!!
Nice easy simple directions - that's how I do mine too - I also place my image in a shoe box when heating the UTEE so that it doesn't fly all around my counter and make a mess. I've also put my image in the freezer after heating and applying the UTEE 3 times, seems much easier to crack when it's super cold.

OMG!! Thank you Lisa! I forgot the freezer part!! I told you all I was no Beate!!! :oops:
hey what are friends for - you're quite welcome. Not sure if everyone puts their CS in the freezer - but I tell ya it sure is easier to crack - and it sounds cool too
Utee is available at Michaels for around $3.00 for a container almost the size of a soda can. That's much cheaper than SU's!

I am wanting to try this technique RIGHT NOW , and can't run to Michaels, can you do like 6 layers of just clear embossing powder and get the same effect? I MUST get the UTEE! Thanks for sharing and your samples in your gallery are BEAUTIFUL!
Thanks Kerry for posting this technique, can't wait to try it!
Congratulations on your team winning the Super Bowl! Massachucetts must be a happy place right now.
Those of you who have tried both, honestly, is the big jar from Michaels the same as the SU! one? I've purchased regular embossing powders from various stores (including Michaels) and don't think that the quality compares to SU! embossing powders, so I was curious about UTEE / Glassy Glaze. I'm dying to try this, but I am willing to wait for an SU! order if it is worth it !!!
I totally agree with you Myra. I too tried the "other" non SU! embossing powders and was dissappointed.
I have not tried non SU! glassy glaze. So I cannot give you an answer. However it is probably a personal choice. I know I won't buy alot of things from anywhere but SU! (I tried the less expensive route but it's never as good as quality) On the other hand I know some demos that are perfectly fine with "other" brands and insist they are just as good.
Guess you have to try both to know for sure.
Thank you so much for these directions. I'm going to do this at my Open House tomorrow night. I'm so excited. I made 2 samples - 1 from Garden Collage and 1 from See With the Heart. I will post them later. I've got a lot more to do to get ready.
The UTEE that Michaels sells is made by the original creator of the stuff. It's wonderful, and, as I stated before, MUCH less expensive!
I do agree with what has been said about the other brands of regular EP, though...there is NO comparison to SU!s Detail EP.

Hi,
This is my first post. When Im using UTEE I dont cut my paper to my exact finished dimension. I leave about an inch at the top. I wrap alum foil around a clipboard then clip my cs and UTTE on the board. Nothing goes anywhere and my fingers dont get burned while embossing. Have fun.
Learn something everyday. I had put Glassy Glaze on my wish list for this order next week. Afer reading this post, I went back to look at it again and Lo and behold! I'd never seen that we actually sell Detail White!!
I've been looking everywhere and no one has it. I guess I didn't read carefully enough but it was there the whole time! I've been looking for it for more than 8 months! See, you post about 1 thing and teach a whole bunch of other people that and more!
Thanks so much for the instructions I will have to try making one now.Sounds very easy.
